The Standard Charitable Foundation

Portland-based Standard Insurance Company's charitable foundation, The Standard Charitable Foundation, announced three grants totaling $140,000 to nonprofits. Junior Achievement of Oregon and Southwest Washington was awarded $75,000 to expand and update their Portland facilities and establish a new program site in Hillsboro. With the addition of the Hillsboro site, BizTown and Finance Park, JA's signature programs focused on financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship, will reach more than 25,000 students annually. The Hillsboro Community Foundation was awarded $50,000 to support disability access to a playground adjacent to Hidden Creek Community Center. The project is a partnership between city of Hillsboro Parks and Recreation Department, Hillsboro Community Foundation and Hillsboro School District. When completed, it will be Hillsboro's first fully inclusive park and playground. New Avenues for Youth was awarded $15,000 for its social enterprise programs including the Ben & Jerry's PartnerShop and screen-printing business, New Avenues INK.
